Plus, how to support us without it costing a penny!
Thank you so much! We are so humbled and grateful to everyone who has got involved in our 2025 campaign to send Christmas cards to the isolated older people in our community.
If you haven’t yet but still want to make a difference, sign up today and pop your card in the post to us by Thursday 4th December or drop off in person to Heart of Newhaven by Monday 8th December.
You will receive an individual profile of a local older person in our community, and all you need to do is write them a Christmas card to transform their Christmas
… And if you’ve sent a card, scroll down to find a super easy way to support Vintage Vibes without it costing you a penny!
We have profiles for older people across every part of Edinburgh…
From DAVID who loves computer games, to SHEILA who dances around the living room to Glastonbury, from ROBIN the film buff to FAY the foodie.
These Christmas cards make a huge difference to people who are often or always alone, and often feel invisible during the festive period.
The messages don’t need to be long, a simple Christmas joke and a kind word will do, it’s the act of letting someone know they matter that makes all the difference.
And it’s great to get the kids involved in too!
Check out these amazing cards from the Beavers, Scouts & Young Leaders at 21st Craigalmond Scouts in South Queensferry!
*Although there is a suggested donation to help us tackle isolation all year-round, anyone can also get involved without donating by using the code NODONATE.
Already sent a card? Here’s a super easy (and free!) way to tackle local loneliness…
Will you be shopping online this Christmas?
We’re heading towards that magical but expensive time of year again – but there is a super easy way to do a little bit of good with every purchase.
With any online shopping you need to do as we head towards Black Friday and Christmas, you could raise vital funds for Vintage Vibes with just one click.
Vintage Vibes have just registered with EasyFundraising, which means that when anyone shops with 8,000+ online stores (including supermarkets), Vintage Vibes can receive a small free donation, courtesy of who you shop with – without it costing you anything. 
SIMPLE – EASY – IMPACTFUL
It’s super simple, you just sign up (at no cost to you) and then download the ‘donation reminder’ and it will pop up when you’re on an eligible website. All you do is click ‘click to get donation’ and the business will give a little donation to Vintage Vibes. Yay!
It’s predicted that more than £3m will be raised this way for charities across the UK during the coming months and we’d love to be able to increase our reach in Edinburgh in 2026, so every penny raised helps us support more local isolated older people
